tick loudly as the clatter Of a mill.


tick loudly as the clatter Of mill,
1t struck the half-hours as well as
the full stroke; and il seemed 60 me
its little whir would buzz and the tiny
hammer strike every five minutes.
Ten half-past Eleven and half /!
Twelve Half One
Heavens how il ticled OF the sec
onds, galloped the minutes, and
startled our panied ears with those
fieeting half-hours
We were seated around the room,
close to each other as we could get.
Father on one side, mother on the
other of me, a hand clasped by each,
as the little monitor on the mantel
broke the gathering stiffness with its
metal voice CRYING the half-hour
gone
just then a step sounded without
hand touched the knob, the key
turned in the lock, the door was
thrown open and the colonel stood
looking in upon us.
Instinctively jumped 10 my feet,
as father and mother sprang 10 my
side, hand each upon my shoulder.
How rapidly thought does its Office
in such emergencies.
My first thought was, their dining
hour approaches, and these officers
wish To get through this unpleasant
duty before dinner.
For a minute-it seemed eternity,
and that the little clock had ceased
to tell off time-we stood, the colonel
and myself, silent, gazing sternly az
each other.
He evidently expected me TO speak.
But j did not, would not.
At length he slowly drew from his
pocket a slip of paper, and saying,
Captain, i have just received this
telegram" read, while we gazed upon
him in strained, listening eagerness.
"The execution of the sentence in
the case of Capt. William r. Gordon
is postponed until further orders. BY
order of THE PRESIDENT"
Not one of us spoke.
"You can stay with your friends
till three. Then you go back TO your
cell, he said, closed the door and
left us hurriedly.
Father drew long, trembling SIGH
and sank. slowly TO the floor, where
mother had already fallen. Their
support gone, the sudden, unlocked
for lifting Of the cloud Of death, the
rush of relief from the horrid night
mare, caused a quick revulsion Of
feeling that made me limp as rag,
weak as a dying babe. And /, too,
sank between my parents.
The minister said something did
not understand, brothers and sisters
knelt around as, and ] heard the
preacher pouring out a prayer Of
gratitude that the dark shadow Of
death had passed by, leaving the light
of life.
My sentence Of death was commut-
ed to Imprisonment and labor during
the war.
But it was life.-W. II. GOrden,
in Southern BiUoudc.

Chilblains.

Chilblains are most common on
persons Of feeble constitution and
languid circulation. A rheumatic
tendency is also thought 20 occasion
a greater liability. They are brought
on by the exposure Of part, usually
the foot, TO such a degree OF cold as
thoroughly To chill without actually
freezing il, followed usually by the
application OF external heat before
the circulation has been fully restor-
ed.
The usual symptoms are heat, red
ness and swelling, with burning and
stinging sensation, accompanied by
intense itching. In severe cases there
may be formation Of yesicles, and
sometimes actual liberation.
Persons subject to chilblains should
exercise great care 10 avoid prolong-
ed exposure 10 cold and dampness,
and when 50 exposed should protect
themselves by wearing warm shoes
and wooden stockings, and warm COW
erings on the hands and exposed
parts Of the face. Cold and wet feet
should be carefully dried and rubbed
with flannel cloth, coarse towel or
flesh brush. Care should be taken
not TO rub them so harshly a. 10
break the skin. Snow and ice-water
are sometimes used with advantage
to rub upon the parts, after which
they should be dried and wrapped In
flannel.
But the most important rule Of all
is to avoid any sudden approach %
the fire after being exposed 10 the
cold, as this il a most fruitful cause
of chilblains. Indeed, there Is little |
danger Of chlblains II this is avoided, /
and the chilled parts are warmed |
slowly by a gradual restoration of /
the circulation, rather than by direct |
external heat.

and itching. and restore the affected /
parts 70 their normal condition. yar- |

Woman is the Highest.

Somewhere have heard this adage,
And 1 think it Is true one,
cit takes much to make a lady,
1t takes more TO make a woman
Ladies with their snow-white hands,
Delicate and clear-cut faces,
Ladies high and ladies grand,
Clothed in velvet, robed IN laces,
Much too fine for common touch,
Crowned and decked with pearls and rubies
Not true woman, Overmuch
Shallow, vain and superficial;
There are thousands simply human
Worthy ofthe name of lady,
Scarcely worth the name of woman.
Not for them the grand creations
Ola glorious womanhood;
Not for them the high ideals
Only soul hath understood;
Not for them the lofty mountains
Rising o'er life's desert waste;
They have eaten Dead Sea apples,
Let them pail upon their taste,
Woman mounting slowly upward,
Pure and steadfast, modest, sweet
As the violetS, which are blooming
In some shaded, cool retreat;
Woman reaching out strong tendrilS,
Earnest in the walks of life.
Treadng i'll the path of duty
Through temptation, care and strife;
Woman in the garb of patience
Standing where the tried have stood,
Breaking bread for questioning spirits,
Wearing crown OF motherhood;
Woman delving. scupturing, carving.
Making still this adage true one,
''It takes much to make a lady,
1t takes more to make a woman"
Let the fires of fate burn higher,
Well. who cares? On downy bed
Sleeps the lady, but the woman
Walks the earth with stronger tread.
Vital are the latent forces
Which are tried, the pearls lie deep,
And they win who stem the courses
And whe climb the mountain steep.
Write upon the heart this adage,
For we know it is a true one,
cit takes much to make a lady,
1t takes more to make a woman"

1T Saved NV Life"

How Easy It Is.

How easy it is to spoil day!
The thoughtless words of cherished friends
The selfish act of child at play,
The strength of will that will not bend,
The slight of a comrade, the scorn of foe,
The smile that is full of bitter things
They all can tarnish its golden ow
And take the grace from its airy wings.
How easy it is to spoil day
BY the force of a thought we did not check!
Little by little mold the clay,
And little flaws may the vessel wreck.
The careless waste of a white winged hour,
That held the blessing we long had sought,
The sudden loss of wealth power
And 10! the day is with i'll inwrought;
How easy 1t is to spoil a life!-
And many spoiled ere well begun
In home light darkened by sin and strife
Or downward course of cherished one;
By toll that robs the form fits grace
And undermines till health gives way;
BY the peevish temper, the frowning face,
The hopes that go and the cares that stay.
A day is too long to be spent in vain;
Some good should come as the hours go by
Some tangled maze may be made more plain,
Some lowered glance may he raised on high.
And life is too short to spoil like this,
If only prelude it may be sweet;
Let US bind together its thread of bliss
And nourish the flswers around our feet.
